Club Studio Is Building a $5.5M Luxury Gym in Houston's River Oaks — Here's What to Expect

Club Studio has filed plans to open a 32,091-square-foot fitness and wellness club at 4411 San Felipe St. in River Oaks, Houston. The project will combine Suites 500 and 600B inside a seven-story building, with an estimated construction value of $5.5 million reported to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Completion is projected for July 2027.

Club Studio is the luxury fitness brand launched in 2022 by Fitness International LLC, the Irvine, California-based parent company of LA Fitness and Esporta Fitness. The concept centers on five dedicated boutique studio spaces — covering HIIT, hot yoga, indoor cycling, boxing, and reformer Pilates — alongside traditional gym equipment and recovery services like cryotherapy. Fitness International operates more than 600 clubs and counts roughly 3.7 million members across its brands, generating approximately $2 billion in annual revenue.

The River Oaks club is expected to include strength and cardio equipment, group fitness classes, and a range of recovery and wellness amenities alongside other premium services — consistent with Club Studio's broader format. The brand's existing Midtown Houston location at 3201 Louisiana St. offers a benchmark: that multi-floor venue includes boutique studios and a dedicated HYROX training area, opened in early 2026 inside a former 24 Hour Fitness space. The Kingwood location at 4540 Kingwood Drive adds on-site Kids Klub childcare to the standard fitness and training mix.

The 4411 San Felipe St. address places Club Studio in one of Houston's most affluent ZIP codes. JLL data shows average household incomes exceeding $200,000 within a one-mile radius and average individual net worth between $4 million and $5 million. The building's tenant mix reinforces the positioning: it is anchored by Park House Houston, a 25,000-square-foot private members-only social club that opened in 2024 and had already built a 1,100-person waitlist by late 2025. Restaurant Ciel and health company Fountain Life also occupy the building.

Specific pricing for the River Oaks location has not been announced. At Club Studio's Midtown Houston club, monthly memberships are structured across three tiers at $134, $174, and $249, per the Houston Chronicle. River Oaks pricing is likely to reflect the premium positioning of that address, though official details are expected closer to the July 2027 opening.

River Oaks is Club Studio's third confirmed Houston-area location, joining existing clubs in Kingwood and Midtown. Fitness International is also converting a former LA Fitness in Houston's Heights/Washington Corridor — a 50,600-square-foot property at 195 Yale St. — into a Club Studio in a $4 million renovation slated for completion in 2025. State filings point to similar conversion projects underway in Kingwood and Dallas, suggesting a systematic effort to rework the company's Texas footprint under the Club Studio brand.

The financial infrastructure behind 4411 San Felipe matches the ambition of its tenants. JLL Capital Markets arranged a $33 million, three-year floating-rate refinancing loan for the property in November 2025 on behalf of owner PH 4411 Houston RE Holdings, with financing provided through Tannenbaum Capital Group. The building's tenant mix — a waitlisted private social club, a fine-dining restaurant, and a longevity health company — reflects a deliberate strategy to attract high-net-worth users across multiple categories under one roof.

For fitness-focused residents in and around River Oaks, the new Club Studio adds a premium all-in-one option in a neighborhood that has historically lacked a dedicated luxury gym at this scale. The format — boutique studio classes, traditional equipment, and recovery services in a single membership — responds directly to what industry research identifies as the growing demand for multi-modality wellness facilities. Members unwilling to juggle separate boutique studio memberships alongside a traditional gym will find the consolidated model appealing.

The River Oaks Club Studio at 4411 San Felipe St. is projected to open in July 2027. Prospective members can monitor Club Studio's official website or visit the existing Houston locations — Midtown at 3201 Louisiana St. or Kingwood at 4540 Kingwood Drive — to experience the format ahead of the new opening. GymStracker will track the project as it progresses toward completion.
